Gather your friends and family, dress up in your favorite vintage styles and hat for a delightful afternoon English Tea. Allow us to take you back to the early 1900s when the Sunday norm was Church, afternoon picnic and tea, and a visit with loved ones at the cemetery.
Lady Kathryn Glynstewart will explore the History and Etiquette of English Tea with us.
Your ticket includes a variety of English Teas provided by the Saint James Tearoom, an assortment of finger sandwiches and desserts. You will also have the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of family plots with a printed brochure and cemetery map. Tickets for the fundraising tea cost $35. This event is by reservation only.
